Both the players are 31 years old but the experience and accomplishments played a vital role in defining the winner from the very start of this match. Most sports analysts agree that with the absence of top notch players like Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, and Stanislas, Kevin Anderson worked his way up the easier opponents to reach the finals against the living legend, Rafael.

In the draws, Nadal was comfortable as if he knew what the results of the tournament were. The only hard opponent he had to face in the tournament was Leonardo Mayer in the third round. Nadal stated in an after-match press conference that skipping that match with a victory was a morale booster. The semi-final’s approach by Nadal was different as he lost the first set against Juan Martin del Potro but successfully won the next three sets which gave him the victory.
